At our house this pumpkin bread tends to just disappear, and while it’s baking your house will smell like a cozy autumn afternoon.
Ingredients for the bread:
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons instant yeast (I used instant, but if you want to use active dry instead, use two standard size packages and proof it in the warm water.)
- 2/3 cup warm milk (I used 2 percent, and warmed it slightly in the microwave.)
- 2 large eggs, well beaten with a fork
- 1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin (I used canned pumpkin.)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used canola oil.)
- 6 and 1/2 to 7 and 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (I gently whisked it before measuring.)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (I used dark brown sugar.)
- 1 cup dark raisins
- 2 teaspoon salt (I used sea salt.)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (I used freshly grated.)
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (to melt and brush onto the top of the just-baked loaves)
For the glaze:
- About 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- About 2 to 4 tablespoons water or milk
